Bev the hostess was very welcoming and seemed prepared to go out of her way to assist her guests. The breakfast in the morning was varied and good. The room, while on the small side, was adequately furnished with a comfortable bed. There were a number of small items which detracted from my stay. Single ply toilet rolls in the bathroom, a small and well worn towel and shower in which the water temperature fluctuated quite often being the main issues. Overall the welcome and friendly nature of the hostess made it easy to overlook the negatives. ##### David Stayed 1 night in Aug 2021 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Aug 8, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Breakfast was not available til 7:30. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2021 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Wesley Dec 17, 2024 ##### Wesley Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Vusumuzi Mar 22, 2022 ##### Vusumuzi Stayed 1 night in Mar 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Phumlani Jan 13, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Phumlani Stayed 1 night in Jan 2021 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Nov 18, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Nov 2019 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [The Palace of the Lost City at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Palace-Of-The-Lost-City-At-Sun-City-Resort.h392096.Hotel-Information) > - [Loerie's Call Guesthouse](https://www.expedia.ca/Nelspruit-Hotels-Loeries-Call-Guesthouse.h3556655.Hotel-Information) > - [Umoya Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Moses-Kotane-Hotels-Umoya-Safari-Lodge.h109432514.Hotel-Information) > - [Mermaid Guest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Struisbaai-Hotels-Mermaid-Guest-House.h34928484.Hotel-Information) > - [33 The Bridge Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Lucia-Hotels-33-The-Bridge-Resort.h38866374.Hotel-Information) > - [Jock Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Kruger-National-Park-Hotels-Jock-Safari-Lodge.h1197267.Hotel-Information) > - [Rivermead](https://www.expedia.ca/Himeville-Hotels-Rivermead.h12834703.Hotel-Information) > - [Esiweni Luxury Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Ladysmith-Hotels-Esiweni-Luxury-Safari-Lodge.h33761660.Hotel-Information) > - [Thorn & Feather (Vermaaklikheid)](https://www.expedia.ca/Vermaaklikheid-Hotels-Thorn-Feather.h61102048.Hotel-Information) > - [Jan Harmsgat Country House](https://www.expedia.ca/Boesmanspad-Hotels-Jan-Harmsgat-Country-House.h3595471.Hotel-Information) > - [Chateau de Marine](https://www.expedia.ca/Struisbaai-Hotels-Chateau-De-Marine.h55086700.Hotel-Information) > - [Seaside Apartment @ Perna Perna Umdloti](https://www.expedia.ca/Umdloti-Hotels-Perna-Perna-Umdloti.h69823538.Hotel-Information) > - [Ledges Retreat](https://www.expedia.ca/Jagersrust-Hotels-Ledges-Retreat.h31484582.Hotel-Information) > - [The Cabanas Hotel at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Cabanas-Hotel-At-Sun-City-Resort.h9459.Hotel-Information) > - [Leopard Tree Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Lucia-Hotels-Lalapanzi-Guest-House.h18236837.Hotel-Information) > - [Global Village Guest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Nelspruit-Hotels-Global-Village-Guest-House.h4099825.Hotel-Information) > - [SpionKop Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Ladysmith-Hotels-SpionKop-Lodge.h6273598.Hotel-Information) > - [Zimbali Condo](https://www.expedia.ca/Ballito-Hotels-Zimbali-Condo.h14730767.Hotel-Information) > - [The Capital Mbombela](https://www.expedia.ca/Nelspruit-Hotels-The-Capital-Mbombela.h70074688.Hotel-Information) > - [Nkambeni Safari Camp](https://www.expedia.ca/Kruger-National-Park-Hotels-Nkambeni-Safari-Camp.h2202798.Hotel-Information) > - [Mafigeni Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Gravelotte-Hotels-Mafigeni-Safari-Lodge.h3954755.Hotel-Information) > - [Sani Mountain Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Sani-Pass-Hotels-Sani-Mountain-Lodge.h36116080.Hotel-Information) > - [Royal Sibaya Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Hillhead-Hotels-Royal-Sibaya-Hotel.h19629214.Hotel-Information) > - [Riverbend Chalets Self Catering](https://www.expedia.ca/Durban-Hotels-Riverbend-Chalets-Self-Catering.h45388238.Hotel-Information) > - [Marlin Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Lucia-Hotels-Marlin-Lodge.h6020379.Hotel-Information) > - [10 Elf Beach House](https://www.expedia.ca/Glentana-Hotels-10-Elf-Beach-House.h19397397.Hotel-Information) > - [Nutmeg Guest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Howick-Hotels-Nutmeg-Guest-House.h14890929.Hotel-Information) > - [Thatchings Guest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Currys-Post-Hotels-Thatchings-Guest-House.h3808542.Hotel-Information) > - [Gonana Guesthouse](https://www.expedia.ca/Paternoster-Hotels-Gonana-Guesthouse.h44806063.Hotel-Information)
